I notice that, after several years, the unshaven look is still very popular, especially on TV, but also in the real world. I'm not talking about gentlemen wearing beards, but the look of not having shaved in several days.

I like the rugged look too, but not a beard that extends or anything - that just reminds me of old men. My boyfriend has a very scruffily beard and beautiful hair and I think he looks very sexy ;)

lol mine looks like a pirate; long wavy hair, about an inch long goatee and then the mustache to match. He even has a style of coat that looks just like one they would wear as well! He makes me giggle in the morning because he has one sensitive eye to light so he closes it and squints wit the other one. I always look at him and go "arg me maties! Where we be sacking today." He just tells me to hush it

I think the Mountain Man kind of beard is overkill unless you actually are a mountain man or have some age on you. Like, a 40-ish year old can look good with a full bushy beard while it looks wierd on a 20-ish year old, imo.

As long as it's neat I don't mind. I just hate when a bread is big and unkempt. If a guy is going to have a full bread he can thrim the shape a bit and keep it clean. XD
